....The main issue I have with Victory, or any bike (like most metric cruisers) that comes from the factory heavily stylized, is that it looks like one size fits all.

People have decried the "hardware-store" design of HDs, but that made true customs- well, custom......

I agree unanamously. The standard cruiser design has withstood the test of time because its comfortable and adaptable. The idea that its outdated and boring is pushed mainly by moto-journalists. As far as I'm concerned most of them aren't worth reading anymore. I'm disappointed that Victory ditched their 2003 Classic.

I enjoy riding every bike I own and the ones I have owned over the years always bring back great memories of places and people I've been riding with.My wife and I really like the hog for all day touring with the intercom, stereo, ect.. ect...
It is an entirely different experience with each tpye of bike, life is good

Here's my old harley. I had this for about 2 months until I bought the one I really wanted 05 Screamin' Eagle Fat Boy (at least so I thought when I got it) I've only ridden the new one like 332 miles. Anyway here's the pic of the Deuce

Well I saw this thread and will chime in. Although I don't have a pic yet I just bought a 2003 Buell Lightning today if that counts. It was sitting at the honda dealership for a couple months as a trade. I low balled them for the hell of it today and am now the owner of a used Buell. Road it around a bit and love it compared to the old M2 cyclone I road before. Its an American exotic and will look good sitting next to the f650gs.

From the recent pics, an e-Glide would be on my short list of a long distance touring rig. And Daniii nice to see your VRSCA post and the trip through CO last summer. Rocky Mountain National Park in the image? And for Buells, Sportsters, other Milwaukee iron.
